Prior to approval of all sediment and erosion control permits and as a condition of the permit approval, the permittee shall post and maintain a cash sediment and erosion control bond. The sediment and erosion control bond shall be effective during the one-year period of the sediment and erosion control permit and shall be released after the completion of the final inspection and the approval of the city engineer. The sediment and erosion control bond shall provide sufficient funds to pay for damages due to design defects and/or failures in workmanship of sedimentation ponds or construction drainage devices and to guarantee repair of damages resulting from failure to provide adequate sediment and erosion controls. The cash bond shall be at least equal to the total estimated construction cost of the interim and permanent sediment and erosion control devices or $10,000 whichever is greater.
(Ord. 1529 § 7.1, 1991)
In addition to required bonds, all permittees or their contractors shall maintain a liability policy for the duration of the sediment and erosion control permit in the amount of not less than $500,000 for bodily injury liability (for each occurrence) and for not less than $500,000 for property damage liability (for each occurrence). Such insurance shall include the city of Sumner, its officers and employees as specifically named additional insureds, and shall not be reduced or canceled without 30 days' written prior notice to the city. Permittees shall present the city with a certificate of insurance before the city shall approve a sediment and erosion control permit. The contractor shall also be licensed and bonded with the state of Washington during the course of the work.
